Portfolio

About

I am a BA Digital Media Design (Bournemouth University) Graduate.
Having recently graduated with a 2:1 class honours I am looking for a career in User Experience (UX) and
software development for iOS (Swift). Throughout my time at University I have advanced my skills in both design
and development. My degree has equipped me with a deep theoretical understanding of design and UX as well as the skills
to design and build a product from start to finish.

Personal data protection & security are of great interest to me and have a great theoretical understanding about it.
Away from the computer I enjoy playing sport. I have an energetic and extroverted personality that just thrives off other people's energy.

Holton Lee

Holton Lee is a wellbeing discovery centre set in 350 acres of beautiful Dorset countryside. The centre witholds a particular understanding of disabilities and mental ill-health that runs a diverse programme designed to benefit the whole person – promoting physical, mental, spiritual and social wellbeing.
The app is designed as a map tour guide, showing various points on the map where visitors can stop and look for particular animals or plants - mainly parts of the estate where wheel chair access is difficult. The application also shows visitors the best routes to take and screens where they can read more about the animals.
This project was developed by our small agency team of 6 called 'Hexatech' as part of a live brief for Holton Lee. I took on the junior role as a designer, copy writer and contributed to the development of the application.
You can view our presentation here. The program Xcode was used to write the application in Apple's Swift programming language. Adobe CC was used for the graphics and mock ups too.

Dissertation and The New Game: Loss of Control Essay

Both the dissertation and essay about the 'loss of control' of surveillance and online privacy are my two biggest written pieces of research. The essay essentially attempts to answer the question: How does surveillance affect society? It critically analyses this and states where the line should be drawn.
You can view the essay here.

The dissertation expands on the essay, drawing more themes and concepts together to investigate the extent of which the public may undervalue their personal data at a cost to privacy. The dissertation is a social science research paper, centring on the collection and analysis of email interviews from experts that work in legal
and technology sectors; One of my respondents is a director at the EU Comission. Themes and concepts discussed were: Big Data, Loss of privacy, Era of the Query and Filter Bubbles. You can view the dissertation here.

The Lad Capsule

The Lad Capsule is an IOS Geo-Location App that I designed and developed from the ground up, and have a working prototype. The Lad Capsule serves as a digital time capsule, which saves and locks away entertaining memoirs/testimonies
for as long as a user wishes. Before linking the capsule to a Geo-Location they must first set a time and date for that capsule before it can be accessed and updated again. By linking a capsule to a Geo-Location it forces the users to relive
moments with their friends, essentially going back in time, with the app updating itself and saving the history of the experiences.
Along with the app itself I created a 20 page dossier documenting the design and development process of the app, including user personas as well (available for download here).
I used Adobe Illustrator to design the bulk of the graphics for the app, and Photoshop for mockups and accompanying graphics. The app was coded in X-Code in Apple's Swift programming language.
This quickly became my favourite programming language, though it was challenging at first.

Yumi Web App

The initial idea behind this project was to create a web app where users could view and post recipes online, and to share them on different platforms. Whilst designing the web app it was important that it's simple for the user to navigate and to understand how to use.
The application was created using PHP and MySQL to create a database - along with various other technologies for the design. The database was developed to control the data architecture of the application. Non-signed up users are able to view recipes and members that are
signed up are able to log in and add recipes. All users can search/filter recipes by starters, mains, desserts and drinks. You can view the ideation, planning and development process here on my blog.

Norwegian Strawberries and cream cake

Whilst I was at college, during my easter break I came up with the idea of making an interactive eBook. It takes you through step by step the process of making the Norwegian cake called "Blotkake". It is created with the program iBooks and all photography is my own. The secret to this cake is that it is made with no butter, so most of the fat comes from the eggs and whipped cream.
